Journalistic reports are supposed to be unemotional and detached. This is not one of those. What follows is my opinion, plain and simple.
American Military Commanders areunderstandably incensed by a Florida Church's plan to burn the Q'ran on September 11.
The church asserts that it is out to "expose Islam" as a "violent and oppressive religion." As if Radical Islamic terrorists haven't done a good enough job at that for the last, oh, 1,000 years or so.
Apparently these self-proclaimed Christians haven't gotten to the part in their Bible that explains the concept of grace, however. You know, that part that commands us, "If possible...live at peace with everyone." (Romans 12:18)
I'm not one to go far out of my way to keep from offending folks who probably want to kill me anyway. But unfortunately, these churchgoers' ignorance will likely result in dozens more dead bodies as angry Muslim mobs take to the streets around the world. Some of them will likely be American servicemen who are actively defending these moron's freedom to practice their religion as they see fit. I wonder if the members of Dove World Outreach feel that their little publicity stunt is worth the blood of a few American soldiers.
Good going, "Dove World Outreach." Idiots.
Now back to your regularly scheduled news.
